A couple of years ago - a photo of a mother breastfeeding her kid while standing on her head went viral on the internet.

A lot of folks believed the photo was staged, and so the mother Amy Woodruff gave an interview recently to set the record straight!

And she says the photo was totally NOT staged!

In fact, check out her response to the photo's popularity AND the NSFW pic AFTER THE JUMP!!!

"The truth is we were living on a small community in Hawaii where our land was clothing optional and yoga was/is a necessity! I was just doin’ my daily flow when the little sweet pea came to sneak a suckle. Papa had her out in the grass with him and she just couldn’t resist! This happens all the time by the way. When a breast is out and baby is around, they are going to try and get it anyway they can! I have been blogging for years now and this photo was just a simple share of a beautiful captured moment.

My blog at this point had been set up so that we could share our travels and Naia with our families and close friends. When I posted the photo I had no idea it would be shared the way it was. There was no showing off intended, nor did I send this photo out to any websites to gain attention. A few close friends shared it on Facebook as a beautiful photo of a mama connecting with her child. It was shared again from there and so on and so forth."

Amy says yoga is very important to her family, and her daughter is now a regular practitioner of it, as well.

She also wanted to address those folks who call her and her family a bunch of hippies.

She said:

"I understand our family is not the stereotypical ideal. We might look different to the mainstream world, but the closeness and love we share is beyond ideal."

Fucking trashy people. If this moment is so private between a mother and a child, what the hell is she doing posting it for the world to see. I'm so sick of these tit-showing crusaders. This picture looks so perverse and obscene.

Pretentious. I am so tired so rich pretentious people all koom bi yah thinking nudity is so natural blah blah, who don't understand we are not 'living in paradise' we are living in a screwed up world in which perverts are masterbating to these displays.

This woman is more inlove with herself than the idea of breastfeeding. Unless she believes in breastfeeding our kid nude???? I've seen people breastfeed and have unhealthy kids. Just because you chose to breast feed doesn't promise health… I find it funny most women like her don't live for god but sure believe their milk is god made. Anyone see commercials " if you breastfeed while taking this drug and the doctor said it was okay" see my point? Some parents dont need to breastfeed. But this woman is very self served she made it about herself

Re: pollopicu – As I was clicking on this, I was like,'Watch, Pollo is gonna be the first one on here, cussing this woman out. ' LMAO. ←←←→→→ I think stuff like this should be kept private. I don't see anything wrong with the act, I just don't think some people want to see it.

"Here, someone take a picture of me. I'm going to do a naked handstand while feeding my naked baby in exposed grass. Because feeding him is totally natural and I'm not at all worried about my baby getting bitten by tropical insects hiding. And I will post this on the internet and not worry about it getting around because I just KNOW noone will send it anywhere." bwahaha

Wow. I'm surprised by the comments here. It's not up to you to judge. She isn't putting her child at danger and she wasn't just nude in the every day world they were somewhere where that is their way of life. She put it on her personal blog not here on a public blog. If you don't like it don't look.

Another freaky granola bitch…if its such a natural,beautiful moment why not keep it to yourself!?!? although I don't see how being naked and doing a handstand out in the open while having pictures taken is au natural…it def. was staged…be smart enough to know that through this wide world web of ours there are def pervs out there punching their clown to this pic…while your baby is sucking on your boob!!! Smarten up granolas!!

I can't believe all of the negativity toward this picture. I am not a nudist by any means but I think this picture is awesome and sweet. Society makes nudity dirty not this woman. This is such a whomesome and innocent memory she has captured and thought it was so beautiful she wanted to share it with the world.

DOES ANYONE NOT NOTICE HER TAN LINE??? she must wear clothes at some point. i think this pic is awesome. It looks like it was a funny moment that was captured, i doubt she breast feed like this everyday.

Re: casBells – It doesn't matter. It's the fact that babies have sensitive skin and should not be on the grass with no mat and naked where there's hidden piss shit and litter to be found. It's as if common sense is out of style these days when it comes to parenting.

You can't see anything so why would people be whacking off to this pic? There's nothing wrong and everything right with breastfeeding, however, I wouldn't feel the need to post this picture to "keep family up to date". The don't need to see this, no one does!

Re: Laura – While I agree that it should have not been posted you cant be naive on the internet and say that just because a picture is not sexually explicit there are no creeps around. You'd be surpised about what type of things certain creeps are into on the internet which is why it was careless of the mother to post it regardless if it was on a personal blog or not.

Obviously the ppl trash talking here, calling unnecessary names did not read the whole blog! I understand everyone has their own opinion, but there's no need to get nasty. If you guys READ CLEARLY, she was in a community where nudity is okay (to each their own, who am i/you to judge?), so her daughter saw her breast and wanted to drink milk. So what?! She said she posted for her family and friends not to the whole world. Unfortunately, not everybody are computer savvy and don't know how bad a photo could be spread just by posting on your own profile. FB changes their Privacy Settings every two seconds! I don't think she posted it thinking oh yeah let me post this so a pervert can masturbate to it! But rather that that was beautiful breastfeeding moment to share with her OWN friends and family. I would like to look into each and everyone of your personal PF's and see what kind of stuff you guys posted, pretty sure it's no better then this simple picture of a mom breastfeeding! Don't look at the picture if you don't like it, nobody forces you to click on the link to this blog or the picture, its as simple as that but don't get all nasty about it, there's enough stuff going on in the world around here. That I don't feel you guys need get all upset cause a child is drinking breast milk whether her mother is naked or not.

Re: Let her be – Re: Let her be – If a person isnt computer savvy and is unaware of changing privacy settings then perhaps showing a picture like that is not the smartest thing to do. Even you said it was a bad photo to post so she has no one to blame but herself. And of course she wasnt thinking about the perverts fapping to it because truth of the matter is they probably did already. Also you say there is more going on in the world well this stunt will be added into the world of irresponsible parenting. Long story short she wanted attention at the expense of her kid she got it and now people are kicking her ass for it. The End.

Personally I think it is a beautiful moment. I'm not a nudist, nor am I into yoga, (though I'd like to get into it), and I probably wouldn't post a photo like this, however just because something isn't for me doesn't mean it's wrong or perverse. The naked body alone doesn't have to be sexual. It's a body. with all the same parts every female has. It's a big deal only if you make it a big deal. And breastfeeding is a beautiful thing. Women should be proud of their bodies. Mothers should be proud of their choice to breastfeed.

Re: pollopicu – Yeah … No ! "Perverse" is not the same word as "perverted" . It's a common mistake - especially among dingbats, such as yourself, who know everything . "Perverse" means "stubborn" - which is quite different from "perverted" . Maybe you looked them up in the crank dictionary, or maybe your god revealed it to you .

To all you trolls making value judgements about breast, I could say, "Live and let live," or, "Judge not, …", but the bottom line is everyone has breasts - men and women . Some people get uptight about them because of sexual / moral connotations or assumed context . It is a severe inequity that women bear the brunt of all judgement re: breasts - an example of one way we men perversely and arbitrarily have mess up

Re: Cleaveridge Elder – Crank Dictionary? LOL Well according to the OXFORD dictionary a trusted brand pollopicu got it right on the dot. Looks like the dingbat here is you. And why should people give sympathy to the mother who started this mess? The only one who should get sympathy is that baby who is now caught up in the mother's ego and her poor choice to post the picture.
